How do I fix a jQuery plugin stops working when edgePreload.js script is attached?

I have a jQuery plugin on my site that I really want to use (Quicksand). I built the site in Dreamweaver, and now I want to animate the elements in Edge Animate, but I noticed as soon as I did anything, the Quicksand plugin stopped working! I troubleshooted for a while and discovered that it was simply the attachment of the edgePreload.js file that kept it from working... how do I fix this?

It looks like you're loading two instances of the jQuery library on the second page: jquery.js and jquery-1.7.1.min.js . The Quicksand plugin is probably added to the first instance, which then gets replaced by the second one.

Not the tools plugin... You're including ruesterprod.com/edgeTest_b/rp_all_videolb/jquery.js in the HTML file, and the ruesterprod.com/edgeTest_b/index_EdgeTest_edgePreload.js script is including ruesterprod.com/edgeTest_b/edge_includes/jquery-1.7.1.min.js.

I hate to be such a noob, I'm just trying to learn as I go, so your help is MUCH appreciated!

I tried changing the link from "rp_all_videolb/jquery.js" to "edge_includes/jquery-1.7.1.min.js" (Which is the newer of the two scripts) but that didn't fix anything... I'm guessing that the Quicksand script somehow needs to change to reflect using the newer jQuery library, but I'm not quite sure how to do that - I tried looking through the qsjs/jquery.quicksand.js to find a link to it, but didn't see anything off-hand...
